Verdict
The blue racket that still makes pace feel free—softer than older Pure Drives, still firm, still the club default when you want the ball to go.
The classic black octagon that made shaped poly famous—heavy spin and firm control if you already swing big; stiff, not free power, and not Rafa’s exact 15L bed.
The Blade that finally keeps up with modern club pace without ditching the feel that made the line famous.
